Christian Frick is a psychotherapist based in Wiesbaden, Germany, who holds the European Certificate of Psychotherapy (ECP). His professional path has been deeply shaped by the therapeutic potential of holotropic states of consciousness. His introduction to Holotropic Breathwork occurred during a significant personal crisis in adolescence, an experience that had a profound and lasting influence on both his personal development and his eventual professional direction. While studying Mental Health Social Work, Christian began apprenticing in workshops led by Brigitte Grof, allowing him to deepen his understanding of experiential work with holotropic states of consciousness. His training and exploration also brought him to the Esalen Institute in the United States on several occasions as a work scholar, where he further immersed himself in experiential and body-oriented approaches to personal growth and healing. Christian subsequently completed Holotropic Breathwork facilitator training in both the United States and Europe, receiving his certification in 2011. Following his certification, Christian continued to work closely with Brigitte Grof, and together they have facilitated Grof ® Breathwork workshops for many years. Alongside this work, he pursued additional professional training in body-oriented therapeutic approaches, including Integrative Body Psychotherapy. Christian has extensive experience within the mental health system and has also worked in a family consultation centre. He later completed advanced training in Depth Psychotherapy, with a particular focus on therapeutic work with adolescents and young adults. Today, Christian maintains a private psychotherapy practice in Wiesbaden and facilitates Grof® Breathwork workshops in Germany and Switzerland. His work integrates psychotherapeutic practice, body-oriented approaches, and extensive experience facilitating holotropic states of consciousness. He has a European Certificate of Psychotherapy.
